A long and very difficult climb! Ranked or not, this is a challenging climb worthy of any serious mountaineer. We waited out a passing storm, making a 14-hour day. No route description can do justice to the complexity of this mountain.

I think n maroon has the hardest standard route of any CO 14er. little bear capitol blah blah, n maroon has many more class 4 sections. did the traverse unroped but every other party climbing only the N peak brought a rope. the traverse is definitely classic, with a lot of options...(a far) second only to blanca traverse in quality

Left the TH very early and did this one solo. Climbed the Bell Chord and was nearly killed by rockfall triggered by frightened mountain goats while in the couloir. Went up South Maroon first and then traversed over to North Maroon. The whole experience was both physically and mentally challenging, but also very rewarding. The cruxes, while super exposed, were quite solid and fun to climb. The views from the top were/are astounding!

Started up at 4:35AM met up with a good partner and group of people reached the summit at 8:51AM, Stayed about 35 mins on this beautiful day and back to the TH at 1:26PM, fun day. My 51st 14er...........sweet!

Traversed from South Maroon Peak and descended Northeast Ridge back to Maroon Lake. Haven't seen any other people on the mountain that day. The three mountain goats accompanied me down to the boulder field. The route was not bad, except for the loose upper gully with some exposure to rockfall. Good scrambling, beautiful weather, incredible views!
